1 Και εζησεν η Σαρρα εκατον εικοσιεπτα ετη· ταυτα ειναι τα ετη της ζωης της Σαρρας.

2 Και απεθανεν η Σαρρα εν Κιριαθ-αρβα· αυτη ειναι η Χεβρων εν γη Χανααν· και ηλθεν ο Αβρααμ δια να κλαυση την Σαρραν και να πενθηση αυτην.

3 Και σηκωθεις ο Αβρααμ απ' εμπροσθεν του νεκρου αυτου, ελαλησε προς τους υιους του Χετ λεγων,

4 ξενος και παροικος ειμαι εγω μεταξυ σας· δοτε μοι κτημα ταφου μεταξυ σας, δια να θαψω τον νεκρον μου απ' εμπροσθεν μου.

5 Απεκριθησαν δε οι υιοι του Χετ προς τον Αβρααμ λεγοντες προς αυτον,

6 Ακουσον ημας, κυριε μου· συ εισαι μεταξυ ημων ηγεμων εκ Θεου· θαψον τον νεκρον σου εις το εκλεκτοτερον εκ των μνημειων ημων· ουδεις εξ ημων θελει αρνηθη το μνημειον αυτου προς σε, δια να θαψης τον νεκρον σου.

7 Τοτε σηκωθεις ο Αβρααμ προσεκυνησε προς τον λαον του τοπου, προς τους υιους του Χετ·

8 και ελαλησε προς αυτους λεγων, Εαν ευαρεστηται η ψυχη σας να θαψω τον νεκρον μου απ' εμπροσθεν μου, ακουσατε μου και μεσιτευσατε υπερ εμου προς τον Εφρων τον υιον του Σωαρ,

9 και ας μοι δωση το σπηλαιον αυτου Μαχπελαχ, το εν τη ακρα του αγρου αυτου· εις πληρη τιμην ας μοι δωση αυτο, δια κτημα ταφου μεταξυ σας.

10 Ο δε Εφρων εκαθητο εν τω μεσω των υιων του Χετ· και απεκριθη ο Εφρων ο Χετταιος προς τον Αβρααμ εις επηκοον των υιων του Χετ, παντων των εισερχομενων εις την πυλην της πολεως αυτου, λεγων,

11 Ουχι, κυριε μου, ακουσον μου· σοι διδω τον αγρον, σοι διδω και το σπηλαιον το εν αυτω· επι παρουσια των υιων του λαου μου διδω αυτα εις σε· θαψον τον νεκρον σου.

12 Και προσεκυνησεν ο Αβρααμ εμπροσθεν του λαου του τοπου·

13 και ειπε προς τον Εφρων εις επηκοον του λαου του τοπου λεγων, Εαν συ θελης, ακουσον μου, παρακαλω· θελω δωσει το αργυριον του αγρου· λαβε αυτο παρ' εμου, και θελω θαψει τον νεκρον μου εκει.

14 Ο δε Εφρων απεκριθη προς τον Αβρααμ, λεγων προς αυτον,

15 Ακουσον μου, κυριε μου· γη τετρακοσιων σικλων αργυριου, τι ειναι μεταξυ εμου και σου; θαψον λοιπον τον νεκρον σου.

16 Και ηκουσεν ο Αβρααμ τον Εφρων· και εζυγισεν ο Αβρααμ εις τον Εφρων το αργυριον, το οποιον ειπεν εις επηκοον των υιων του Χετ τετρακοσιους σικλους αργυριου, δεκτου μεταξυ εμπορων.

17 Και ο αγρος του Εφρων, οστις ητο εν Μαχπελαχ, εμπροσθεν της Μαμβρη, ο αγρος και το σπηλαιον το εν αυτω και παντα τα δενδρα τα εν τω αγρω και εν πασι τοις οριοις κυκλω, ησφαλισθησαν

18 εις τον Αβρααμ δια κτημα, ενωπιον των υιων του Χετ, ενωπιον παντων των εισερχομενων εις την πυλην της πολεως αυτου.

19 Και μετα ταυτα εθαψεν ο Αβρααμ Σαρραν την γυναικα αυτου εν τω σπηλαιω του αγρου Μαχπελαχ, εμπροσθεν της Μαμβρη· αυτη ειναι Χεβρων εν γη Χανααν.

20 Και ο αγρος και το σπηλαιον το εν αυτω, ησφαλισθησαν εις τον Αβρααμ δια κτημα ταφον παρα των υιων του Χετ.

2901. Genesis 23

1. And the life 1 of Sarah was a hundred and twenty-seven years - the years of the life 1 of Sarah.

2. And Sarah died in Kiriath Arba, which is Hebron in the land of Canaan; and Abraham came to mourn for Sarah and to weep for her.

3. And Abraham rose up from before his dead, and spoke to the sons of Heth, saying,

4. I am a stranger and an inhabitant among you; give me possession of a grave among you, and I will bury my dead from before me.

5. And the sons of Heth answered Abraham, saying to him,

6. Hear us, my lord; you are a prince of God in the midst of us; in the choicest of our graves bury your dead; none of us will withhold his grave from you, from burying your dead.

7. And Abraham rose up and bowed to the people of the land, to the sons of Heth.

8. And he spoke to them, saying, If you are willing 2 to let me bury my dead from before me, hear me and intercede for me with Ephron the son of Zohar.

9. And let him give me the cave of Machpelah which is his, which is at the end of his field; for the full price 3 let him give it to me in the midst of you, as a possession for a grave.

10. And Ephron was sitting in the midst of the sons of Heth; and Ephron the Hittite answered Abraham, in the ears of the sons of Heth, to all entering into the gate of his city, saying,

11. No, my lord, hear me; the field I give to you, and the cave that is in it I give to you; before the eyes of the sons of my people I give it to you; bury your dead.

12. And Abraham bowed before the people of the land.

13. And he spoke to Ephron in the ears of the people of the land, saying, Even so, please hear me; I will give the price 4 of the field; accept it from me, and I will bury my dead there.

14. And Ephron answered Abraham, saying to him,

15. My lord, hear me; the land [is worth] four hundred shekels of silver; what is that between me and you? So bury your dead.

16. And Abraham listened to Ephron, and Abraham weighed out for Ephron the silver which he had spoken of in the ears of the sons of Heth, four hundred shekels of silver, current with the merchant.

17. And the field of Ephron, which was in Machpelah - which was before Mamre - the field and the cave which was in it, and every tree which was in the field, which was in all its borders round about, was made over

18. To Abraham as an acquisition, before the eyes of the sons of Heth, in [the presence] of all entering the gate of his city.

19. And after this, Abraham buried Sarah his wife at the cave of the field of Machpelah facing Mamre, which is Hebron, in the land of Canaan.

20. And the field and the cave which was in it were made over to Abraham as a possession for a grave, from the sons of Heth.

CONTENTS

The subject here in the internal sense is the new spiritual Church which was raised up by the Lord after the previous one had altogether breathed its last, and also the reception of faith among those who belonged to the Church. 'Sarah' here is Divine truth that breathed its last; 'burial' is a raising up again; 'Ephron' and 'the sons of Heth' are those people among whom the good and truth of the Church was received; 'Machpelah, which was before Mamre' is regeneration; 'Hebron in the land of Canaan' is a new Church.

脚注:

1. literally, lives

2. literally, If it is with your soul

3. literally, in full silver or money

4. literally, the silver or the money
